tranfer data from one pc to another




If you've recently purchased a new computer, you can easily transfer your data from your old PC to your new PC. Windows Easy Transfer is included in all new versions of Windows and enables you to transfer your files using a portable storage device -- such as an external hard disk drive or USB flash drive. The Windows Easy Transfer wizard helps guide you through migrating your data from one PC to another. You can also secure your Windows Easy Transfer file with a password to help protect your data from unwanted access.
Step 1
Sign in to Windows using your new PC and then press the "Windows" key to open your Windows Start screen.
Step 2
Enter "Easy Transfer" in the search field and then click "Windows Easy Transfer" from the app search results to open Windows Easy Transfer.
Step 3
Click the "Next" button and then click "An External Hard Disk or USB Flash Drive."
Step 4
Click "This is My New PC," click "No" and then click "My Old PC is Running Windows 7 or Windows 8."
Step 5
Attach your portable storage device to your old PC.
Step 6
Sign in to Windows on your old PC, press "Windows," enter "Easy Transfer" and click "Windows Easy Transfer" from the search results.

Step 9
